Christophe, you are the one person to whom the question of "when's the next
version?" is asked the most, and I notice that you do *not* answer, and I
respect that, and fully understand not only why you don't answer, but also why
you would ask Gian-Carlo not to answer on your behalf.  I'm also happy that you
don't bow to the pressure.

Unfortunately, you have been breaking your own rule since the release of the
Tungsten T -- in fact, the way you were hyping armlets it was assumed that your
Dec. 22 release of last year would be the armlet version of Tiger with Hi-Res...
it wasn't. (note, CT remains the best looking, most full-featured, best playing
program on the face of the handheld planet... I'm not trying to deny you of the
credit you truly deserve)

Since then, you have done nothing but talk about: your forays into Linux, and
your work on the "arm-native" version of Chess Tiger.

If anybody were to ask me what Christophe Theron is working on, I'd say "since
sometime about a year ago he's been working on a new version of Chess Tiger for
the palm with some Arm code in it but god knows what the hell has happened to
that"   and I'm sure, if I wanted to, I could use the CCC search engine to fully
back that claim with *your* words.

If people are under the impression that you are working on some "arm-native"
version of Chess Tiger for the palm platform, it is specifically because you
have stated so on numerous occasions.  You are way off base for chiding
Gian-Carlo for answering that in response to a legitimate query.
